Hi Romy,

I just received as a birthday gift the Barenboim set recorded with EMI in the late 60's. I don't have sufficient experience of the other performers/interpretations you mention to put this set into context. I listened to some Brendel sonatas recently and if anything found him a little stiff/mechanical after the Barenboim. Are these Barenboim recordings generally not liked and if so why not?

best regards,
Guy
